MOCKINGBIRD: C

The movie kept me guessing and somewhat invested in the characters, although oddly enough with exception to the clown they weren't that interesting. 

Performances were as they were meant to be, realistic and nothing more as if the characters were real life people, behaving as real life people would in a real life situation. I do question some of the decisions that they made but again, it fulfilled its purpose.

This film was all about set up and the set up was good. Unfortunately though, like many other film's of similar nature, the payoff sucked. The film could have had a decent ending, but for some reason directors and writers have a sense of empowerment if they leave you with an ambiguous, "WTH?" at the films conclusion.

This film was nothing at all like what I thought it would be based on previews and cut scenes I've watched in horror compilations. Matter of fact, two scenes that I saw in those previews/compilations weren't even in the movie.
